Smocked bishop - completed!

In all, it probably only took about 3 hours to smock. I do it while scavenging through all of those TiVo programs that you don't really WANT to watch, but feel obligated to sit through because TiVo took the time and trouble to record it! ANYWAY... (pretend I didn't say that if you don't feel that same twang of guilt).

Looks fantastic, I love the monochromatic geometric stitching...so classic!

Thanks! I'm happy with it! Any tricks on getting the threads out? It's normally a painstaking process. One I officially dread!

Tracy,
This is so pretty. I love to smock, but I haven't done any in years. I'm so glad to hear that you are homeschooling. We have 5 children (mostly grown now) and have homeschooled for over 20 years. It is not always easy, but it is a wonderful lifestyle for families.

Sorry no tricks to the threads except to try not to catch them while you smock it in the first place...I hate that part too, but it isn't too bad if you pay attention when smocking not to go too deep.
